I Miss You
Longing Echoes: Yearning for Presence
Lyrics
Driving with my windows down on my way home
Reflecting on the way home with open windows.
Listening to Dierks Bentley’s brand new song
Listening to a new song by Dierks Bentley.
I look over to my passenger seat
Glancing at the empty passenger seat.
And suddenly I realize that it’s empty
Realizing the absence of someone important.
And it’s times like this that I miss you
Expressing feelings of missing someone during such moments.
I woke up this morning and took a bath
Starting the day with morning routines, like taking a bath.
I got ready and I went to mass
Getting ready and attending a mass.
As I kneeled down alone in that pew
Kneeling in prayer, reflecting on being alone in the pew.
I had to stop myself from thanking God I was with you
Suppressing the instinct to thank God for the absent person.
And it’s times like this that I miss you
Expressing the emotional void during such moments of reflection.
And I miss you next to me
Conveying the longing for the person to be close.
And I miss you when I sleep
Expressing the sense of missing the person during sleep.
And I miss you just loving me
Yearning for the affection and love of the absent person.
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
Reiterating the emotional void and the strong feeling of missing.
Robert Earl Keen on a brand new CD
Mentioning a song by Robert Earl Keen on a new CD.
Outside with the guys roping the dummy
Depicting an outdoor scene with friends, engaging in activities.
Somebody yells out “Hey good loop!”
Someone praises a roping skill, briefly mistaking it for the absent person.
And only for a moment I thought it was you
Expressing a momentary confusion and yearning for the missing person.
And it’s times like this that I miss you
Reiterating the impact of the absence during such moments.
And I miss you next to me
Repeating the sentiment of missing the person when close.
And I miss you when I sleep
Reiterating the feeling of missing the person during sleep.
And I miss you just loving me
Reaffirming the desire for the absent person's love.
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional impact of missing someone.
And even though I wish you happiness
Expressing a wish for the happiness of the absent person.
I still pray to God that you miss me like this
Despite the wish, praying for the person to miss in return.
Cause I miss you, yeah I miss you
Reiterating the strong and persistent feeling of missing.
I miss you, Oh I miss you
Concluding with a heartfelt declaration of missing the person.
